The first domestic microprocessor RX5, developed by Nursultan Kabylkas, has completed the testing stage ("bring-up") after being manufactured in China. The development was carried out in collaboration with the Beijing Open Source Chip Institute. This step opens up prospects for the formation of a microelectronics school and future domestic chip production in Kazakhstan.

Kazakhstan has taken a significant step in the field of microelectronics — the first domestic microprocessor, RX5, has completed the testing stage after production. The developer of the project is Nursultan Kabylkas, an engineer and researcher working on chip design in Kazakhstan.

A year ago, the team reached an agreement for cooperation with the Beijing Open Source Chip Institute. With their help, RX5 was sent for fabrication to China, and upon its return, it underwent a key stage — "bring-up," the first launch and functionality check.

Although this does not yet involve competing with global giants, this step opens up new prospects:
— forming a domestic school of microelectronics
— developing innovative architectures
— the possibility of producing chips domestically in the future.
